I stepped into the train last night and stood in front of a row of seated people. Right in front of me was space to be seated, but you’d have to be Ally McBeal who lost 10lbs more to fit. The seated people tried to move aside but I smiled and shook my head, opting to stand.

In comes a woman who had a bottom that could float the Titanic. Catching sight of the sliver of space, she rushed forward to claim it like it was the last pastry for the year. The women seated stared at her with expressions varying from surprise to annoyance. I watched her with wide opened eyes in an effort to halt the laughter tickling the back of my throat, then turned away and caught another woman staring at her with the same expression. We caught each other’s eye then grinned as the big bottom lady huffed in annoyance for being able to only sit at the very edge of the seat.

On Father’s Day (June 21):

Dad: We’re going to the funeral mass of your cousin today.
A: Oh, but what about Father’s Day? Aren’t we going out for breakfast or something?
Dad: No, I’d rather go to the mass. There’s a family lunch before that, then dinner afterwards.
A: Okay, I’ll try to catch up.
(After a few minutes)
Dad: I’ve decided. We’ll celebrate Father’s Day on Wednesday.
A: ?! Dad, this is not some voucher you can claim whenever you want, Father’s Day is Father’s Day =P
Dad: I don’t care.

So, Father’s Day has been decreed June 24 for my family. Please hold all greetings till then. For the rest of you, I hope you had a good one. =P

Here’s the video of one of my favorite songs for a few years now. It never fails to make me smile. =)

I have no idea what they put in that cosmopolitan I had last night but I’ve made a note not to order it in that place ever again. I had one of the worst dreams I’ve had in years and I woke up to find myself sobbing. Bizarre.

A cousin of mine passed away. I wasn’t really close to him while he was alive, but regardless of connection deaths have never failed to cause extreme bouts of depression. There’s always that fear in the back of my head that it’ll be my father’s turn next coupled with the guilt from the relief that it wasn’t him this time.

Not much to say right now. If I think about it too much, I’ll start going to pieces again.

A friend flew in from Georgia so some of the girls from high school got together to welcome her back. I showed up late since I couldn’t get away from work early and we ended up in a coffee klatch. There are times when I drag my feet when going to social gatherings, but when it comes to my high school friends I always walk away happy to have seen them. It’s amazing to see how much everyone has changed. Very few of us have stayed the same and strangely enough, we’re still together. I’m not one for social groups but the few I belong to have blessedly varied (and colorful) characters, which always makes for an interesting conversation.

I know this entry was terribly written. Disjointed thoughts, but really couldn’t care less right now. I will probably wince over this tomorrow.

Very, very, very complicated.

Yesterday I had accidentally left my mobile phone and so I called home to double check if it was really there (and not snugly sitting in some pickpocket’s grubby palm).

(phone rings)
Dad: ‘Lo?
A: Pops, it’s me.
Dad: What?
A: I think I left my phone in my room.
Dad: Hahaha, very smart!
A: >_> Could you please check for me?
Dad: Call in five minutes.

(phone rings)

Mum: Hello?
A: Mum, it’s me. Did Pops check if my phone’s there?
Mum: Oh yeah, both your Ericsson and the black one.
A: Oh, good! Yeah, it’s the silver one. The black one’s just a back up, I don’t use that. (Referring to a slim Motorola phone I have)
Mum: …This black phone of yours is big.
A: Eh? No it’s not. It’s smaller than the Ericsson.
Mum: No, it’s bigger.
A: …? Mom, it’s not.
Mum: It says… “PSP”…
A: …HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Mum that’s for gaming!
Mum: What?
A: (whilst laughing) It’s sort of a Gameboy!
Mum: How should I know?!

So I e-mailed my sister (who was in class) and told her that I had left my phone at home, and she replied:

I heard…

Dad: Guess what your sister forgot
C: ….
Dad: She forgot all her phones
C: Really?
Dad: She calls and says she can’t find them and thinks she left her phones and her playboy and whatever…
C: *Playboy……*
